Browser extension for voice-to-writing
The browser extension is the future path to using Zahvox from any tab without opening the tool first. It is in development. Today, the free web tool at /tool covers the recording and editing, and you can copy or download the text into any app you already use.
The Zahvox browser extension is in development. Today, users can open /tool in a browser tab, record, edit, copy and download the text, then paste it into Gmail, Notion, LinkedIn, Slack, docs or a CMS. Direct in-page workflows from within those apps are on the roadmap, not live yet.
This feature is in development. The current Zahvox web tool does not include the full workflow yet.
What browser extension means
- · The browser extension is a small add-on that will sit in the browser toolbar.
- · It will let you start a voice session from any tab, without navigating away first.
- · It will link back to the same voice-to-writing workflow the web tool uses today.
- · It is not a keyboard replacement for the whole operating system. That belongs to a future desktop app.
Why this matters
- · Voice-to-writing loses its value if the tool is three clicks away when the thought hits you.
- · People write across many tabs in a day: email, chat, CRM, docs, project boards, CMSes.
- · An extension makes the tool one click away from every one of those tabs.
- · It also opens the door to text injection later, which turns a copied draft into text placed directly in a field.
How browser extension will work in Zahvox
Intended workflow. Not fully live yet.
- · You install the extension once from the browser store when it ships.
- · You click the extension icon in any tab to open a small Zahvox panel.
- · You speak, watch the transcript, edit, then copy the cleaned text.
- · In a later phase the extension will offer to place the text into the input field you were focused on. This is the intended workflow. It is not fully live yet.

Current limitations

- · The extension is not published on any browser store today.
- · Text injection into app input fields is a separate in-development feature and depends on the extension.
- · The extension will target common Chromium browsers first. Safari and Firefox coverage will come later.
- · Long speech sessions still depend on browser behaviour for the underlying capture.
